    I have never drip acclimated a coral in my life. Shrimp, snails other more sensitive inverts and some fish, yes, but I have not drip acclimated corals. Everyone has a different recipe, so do what you feel more comfortable doing.

    What I am comfortable doing is irrelevant if I dont know what I am doing. :)p

    I will temp acclimate and then salinity acclimate (non drip) then dip then in -- is that cool?

    I have tested shipped water (fish Inverts) and Corailline is right about amonia and PH.
    I didnt think coral had same issue good to know -- I will run tests to confirm (I like to see for myself not that I dont believe you). Thanks again!!!!
